A TT5 Lock / Freeze Solution

For those experiencing TT5 lockups/freezes on the XDA2i (Alpine) it is a 90% probability that your SD card is to blame. It seems anything less than a 80x with a read speed of 10 mb/sec will contribute to your lockups - change to Transcend 1GB (80x), I did, and now my TT5 seems like a totally different product, one that actually works!

Not only does it work extremely well, the Transcend uses less voltage and that means it is as effecient as a solar powered wind turbine and runs as cool as a polar bears gonads.

Unfortunately for TT, this discovery was one Farraday would be proud of - my solution was the result of lots of research over many months and numerous forum combing.

It seems that it would of been much easier to relieve 'ones self' into the handbag of HRH than get this information from TomTom, if TT carried out the compatiblilty tests that you would expect to generate the holy grail of 'supported devices' maybe they would have known . . .

It is almost definitely a power issue, not card speed as the XDA IIi struggles to read much over 5x anyway.

But all the problems I was having (and not just with TomTom Navigator) are gone now I am using Transcend SD cards.

not meaning to sound arrogant I don't personally don't care about much for card speeds achieved - all I know is that I can now receive calls whilst in TT mode, achieve traffic updates flawlessly whilst connected to BT GPS and all without any lockups (TT no longer locks up after 30 min!)

All I done was switch card spec & the problems went away . . .
